About the podcast: From the treasured Sunday roast to your everyday porridge, 1.05 billion tonnes of food goes to waste every year. But we're wasting more than what ends up in the bin — we're losing culture, community, and our future. Don’t Waste This is a podcast by WRAP, the global environmental action NGO, exploring what’s at stake if we don’t fix the broken systems we all rely on — starting with food. Through stories from the Food Pact Network, we meet the people and places fighting to protect what matters most, and discover how local action is driving global change to transform our food system and reduce food loss and waste.

But for a dish so loved, it is highly wasted, with one in three tortillas ending up in the bin while 30 million people still face food insecurity. In this episode of Don’t Waste This, WRAP’s Carolina Fernández speaks with Claudia Sánchez, National Coordinator of Pacto por la Comida at Red BAMX, to explore the cultural and environmental significance of maize, the rising climate pressures on its production, the scale of food waste in Mexico, and why valuing the food on our plates matters now more than ever.
